There were 23 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Tom Green County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 4.2% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Tom Green County welcomed 18,715 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 53 schools in Tom Green County, Lone Star Middle School, San Jacinto Elementary School, and Texas Leadership of San Angelo recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of three students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school districts. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock said.
